#数字资产市场动态 Bloomberg releases shocking prediction: Will Bitcoin crash to $10,000 by 2026?

After reviewing various institutional forecasts, almost everyone is optimistic about the market next year, except Bloomberg—who takes a completely different stance—and quite aggressively so. Looking closely at Bloomberg’s historical track record, it’s actually quite interesting.

In 2018, when Bitcoin was around $10,000, Bloomberg predicted it would fall below $1,500. And what happened? It bottomed out at $3,200. In 2021, Bloomberg turned optimistic again, predicting it would surge to $400,000. The reality was it reached $69,000. Comparing these historical benchmarks, you can interpret them yourself.

As for Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone’s recent logic, honestly, I think he’s overthinking a bit. His core idea is based on competitive relationships—gold’s competitors are only silver, platinum, and palladium, so it’s stable. But Bitcoin? It faces competition from millions of crypto assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is where it gets interesting. Applying this framework to Bitcoin is a bit of a stretch. The evolution of the crypto ecosystem over the past decade has long surpassed simple competitive substitution. And if Bitcoin really drops to $10,000, the entire ecosystem would face a major shock—that’s what Bloomberg is right about. But as for the reasoning process...

Looking at 2026 from another angle: if gold continues to surge (inflation expectations remain), will the US stock market and Bitcoin then experience a correction? That’s the real question worth pondering.
